Original artwork description:

This series of paintings is inspired by the Divine Feminine in connection with music since musical, artistic and poetic inspiration was always thought to spring from the Divine Feminine.
For this painting I have used acrylics, embroidery thread and natural linen canvas.
I include embroidery in my works as a a tool for female empowerment and peaceful protest, I consider the embroidery as a space of freedom, introspection, self-knowledge and sisterhood.
The Sikus (musical instruments) originate from instruments similar to the pan flutes used in pre-Inca cultures, which have been found in ancient civilizations. Sikuri is a traditional Andean music style, which is capable of moving you by reaching your heart and communicating with people through their melodies. When you have the opportunity to listen to this music, you can feel your heart beating to the beat of the big drums and you can listen to the musical notes of nature in the wind that emanate from the Sikus (Traditional Andean Pan Flute also known panpipes). The Sikuris point out that this music is the thread that connects them with people, the Pachamama (Mother Earth), and especially with their ancestors.
